                    My supply chain management (SCM) project in Malaysia has given me many unforgettable memories, challenges and satisfaction. Though my customers have high demands in terms of price, delivery, quality, specifications and 24/7 service, I always do my best to ensure every customer is well-taken care of. My daily routine is making impossible missions possible – hence the frequent heart attacks and sleepless nights! I go all out, even if it means borrowing from an existing customer who has already bought the item from us but has not used it due to project or rig delay. There were many occasions when I borrowed from A for B, and even resold to C instead of returning to A! The job is highly stressful but very rewarding as I have gained the firm trust of my customers, who in turn provide me with valuable referrals.<br /><br />
                      
                    To illustrate, there was once when I was desperately looking for chrome pipes which had to be ready in 2 weeks. Due to the tight schedule, I could only search around Asia, Australia & the Middle East but to no avail. I then called my Tokyo counterpart to check the mill order list, both cargo readiness at mill now and within the next 1 week. Fortunately, I found that there was a cancelled order at Wakayama port with shipment to Europe. I promptly contacted the pipe owner and settled order conditions, including payment for the dead freight to Europe, and finally got the pipes diverted to Singapore for my customer. On a separate occasion, I even had an order which required processing from 9 locations in 8 countries. I have also dealt with huge orders worth more than USD 17mil where my counterparts tell me it is not possible to change the existing business channel,  meet delivery and target price. However, I never give up and always persist till the customer is satisfied and the deal is closed.
